Founded in 1980, MADD has led one of the most significant public safety movements in modern history. Through advocacy, education, and community engagement, the organization has helped reduce drunk driving deaths in the United States by more than 40%, saving nearly 500,000 lives.

Beyond prevention, MADD’s work extends to direct support for those affected by impaired driving. The organization has served nearly one million victims and survivors, providing no-cost services through trained victim advocates and its 24-Hour Victim Help Line.

MADD continues to lead national efforts focused on:

  • Preventing impaired driving, especially among young adults
  • Collaborating with law enforcement to enhance road safety
  • Advancing legislation for stronger protections and accountability
  • Supporting the implementation of lifesaving technology, including the HALT Drunk Driving Law, which will require anti-drunk driving systems in all new vehicles

This recognition reflects not only MADD’s legacy, but its continued leadership in shaping safer communities across the country.

As part of the HL | Milestone Series, MADD joins a distinguished group of honorees whose work defines culture, influence, and responsibility in our society.
